Researchers have developed a six-legged robot that can learn to walk by mimicking a stick insect’s movement patterns. The AI-powered system enables the robot to adapt its walking strategy across ...

Computer controlled or robotic insects are not new, however recent advances are more sophisticated that anything that has gone on before. Back in 2012, Digital Journal ran a feature looking at how ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. MIT researchers are designing robotic insects capable of swarming from mechanical hives to handle precise pollination tasks ...

Inspired by the agility and efficiency of insects, millimeter- to centimeter-scale robots hold enormous promise for environmental monitoring, search and rescue, and precision agriculture. But their ...

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - With a more efficient method for artificial pollination, farmers in the future could grow fruits and vegetables inside multilevel warehouses, boosting yields while mitigating some ...

Harvard University technologists have designed a small aerial bot. The flying robot uses static electricity to adhere to the underside of a leaf and to rest on other materials. The flying device has ...

Researchers have combined the agility of a cheetah with the ability of insects to scale walls and complex terrain in their design of an insect-sized robot that can move rapidly and sure-footedly for ...

Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed advanced robotic insects that could aid farming through artificial pollination. They could prove especially useful in the ...

Sean Humbert is unlocking the biological secrets of the common housefly to make major advances in robotics and uncrewed aerial systems (UAS). A professor in the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical ...
